Indian Political Discussion

One decade?

We want to kill 200 million Muslims yesterday ....

Or in the meantime at least disenfranchise them and ideally strip them of their dignity.

Cheers, Doc

How many constitute this "we" ? False bravado and posturing.
 
We were having a sensible discussion.

The only sensible thing in politics- do what works and do what doesn't rock the boat. This constant theorizing about what could have been and looking at models (if we were china/ singapore/ Japan we would be better) has been the bane of this country.

Many. Too many that it depressed me.

It's not just forums and WhatsApp and shakhas and Twitter and news channels.

It's in the real world.

Super educated doctors.

Scientists.

Army.

It's a transformation that will not reverse at the polls.

It's societal.

Taking inspiration from a working model is never a bane, not implementing is. There is no method which is fit for all, so we have to learn and pick what can possibly work for us. Who can teach us better to utilize the huge human resource than China, or how to be productive even if you are low on numbers than Japan. Optimization is what we need to do considering what could be acceptable to our people and culture.

You were the reason of disappointment for many, in the same way, till few years back by your own acceptance. That's why I say give people some time to learn the right way, let them make a history to take lessons from (harsh wish I hope we dont have to).

I was a disappointment to just a few.

Maybe one.

Honestly till this election I thought we were still in a majority.

I am increasingly convinced now that I am largely out of sync with a large section (probably most who count) of my countrymen.

A misfit.

Or an ideological relic.

One of the reasons of coming back to such forums is to see whether I can find common ground.

I am deadly afraid of slowly morphing into a Naxalite or something.

What was the problem in inclusive cultural nationalism versus what we got .... exclusive Hindu nationalism?

Did uniting a billion automatically have to mean alienation of the rest?

Cheers, Doc
Well it seems you are not familiar with the exclusiveness of the Islamic ideology. No matter how hard you try to include them the 1.5 billion Muslims will still deem you as a kafir and genuinely believe that you will rot in hell for eternity not to mention some of them who would like to send you there in first place.

I'm very aware of them as most old-timers here will confirm to you with theatric rolling of their eyes.

Then I presume you also believe in the right of self defence. If they are not gonna change and keep attacking us stealthily then we too hold every right to protect ourselves.

Mod Edit - We do not condone extremist views

You are still in majority who is confused whether they should try a change or persist with a Pappu. The only difference is most of you made a choice to test a change.

Then limit your interaction to fewer subject and fewer people for sometime. There wont be many audience out there for your views. Let the senses come down from the back of high hope horse.

I have learnt to subdue my rebel side and compromised with what we have. No one other than a father of differently-abled child can understand more.

Degree varies.
Okay buddy then answer my one question. Suppose you are traveling in a jungle with a dagger. Suddenly a lion come infront of you with the intention of attacking you. What will you do? Kill it or just let him attack by saying that killing a lion with dagger is something "Primitive"?

Will you then go back home, come back in packs, and start herding the lions into manageable areas, burn the forests, kill their feed, and then start killing them one by one when they pick up one of your cows to eat?

A good analogy you deserve credit for that but Sir I was representing whole Islamic ideology and its followers by that lion not a single muslim.

So somehow you want to get an answer of your choice from me even if that need a wrong analogy? Neither we are in a jungle, neither we are facing a lion and neither we are limited with options. We are free and talking over the internet with no threat to my or your life, there are just nuisances and that not warrant us to go full "Primitive".

The day it require, I will kill you to feed my kids, if that comes to it. Not today my friend. :)
